It shouldn't be unacceptable at all, because it's a loose term that predates DNA testing and identity politics. It's simply a descriptive tag, like tall or short.

If it's "simply a descriptive tag", then why are you insisting that truths about it are being revealed by rigorous (yet... undiscussable) science?

Either you're making a scientific point or you're just complaining that people get upset when you discuss race. Which is it?
